Leo’s words were like a bomb, leaving Caelan stunned. “What? You said what? Tear down the White family ancestral hall?”
Caelan laughed. “You think we’ll just tear it down because you said so? Who do you think you are?”
The tension between them was palpable as they locked eyes.
Antonio couldn’t help but cough softly and whispered to Leo, “Mr. Bloomer, maybe we should be more discreet.”
“I’m doing this for the good of White Orchid Village. The ancestral hall not only affects the geomancy of other villages but will also harm White Orchid Village’s geomancy in the end. If we don’t tear it down now, you’ll regret it later,” Leo explained.
Caelan’s adrenaline spiked at his words, and he had to restrain himself from attacking Leo.
After holding back for a while, Caelan could only muster two word, “Get out!”
“I won’t leave until the ancestral hall is torn down,” Leo replied firmly.
This made Caelan furious and he stepped forward to push Leo.
But with just a slight movement of his body, Leo dodged effortlessly and left Caelan pushing air instead.
Caelan then tried grabbing onto Leo’s shoulder instead but still missed him completely.
Leo moved like an eel; no matter how much strength Caelen exerted on him, he couldn’t even touch his clothes or hair strands!
“Your agility…” Caelean gasped in shock. “That’s Three Talents Body Technique! How did you learn that from my family?”
“This is Mysterious Heaven Body Technique,” corrected Leo arrogantly.
“Don’t give me that crap! Tell me where did you learn Three Talents Body Technique from!” demanded Caelan relentlessly.
Leo sneered at him disdainfully before replying, “As I’ve already said before – this is Mysterious Heaven Body Technique which is far superior than your inferior Three Talents Body Technique!”
Bentley interjected impatiently, “Stop wasting time talking nonsense with him, Caelan! Just catch him and hand him over to Fraser – Fraser will know if he used Three Talents Body Technique or not!”
Several villagers had already heard the commotion and gathered in the courtyard of the villa. The people of White Orchid Village were always united against outsiders, so when they heard Bentley’s words, they responded with agreement, “Yes, dare to come to White Orchid Village and cause trouble? Catch him!”
Caelan nodded and signaled for Bentley to take action.
Under Bentley’s direction, five or six villagers rubbed their hands together and rushed directly towards Leo.
Despite being chased by five or six villagers along with Bentley for a while, Leo managed to avoid them all without even having his clothes touched.
As the crowd of onlookers increased, more people came to capture Leo.
From the initial five or six individuals, the number grew to over ten, then over twenty, until eventually, the entire courtyard was filled with people, even pushing Antonio and Bob out.
Watching Leo effortlessly navigate through the sea of people, Caelan furrowed his brow as he noticed something unusual.
The body technique Caelan had learned was far less refined than what Leo was displaying.
The White family’s Three Talents Body Technique had been passed down for four to five hundred years, but by now, it was no longer complete. Some of its intricate aspects had already been lost.
If it weren’t for Fraser’s exceptional talent and his inheritance of the complete Three Talents Body Technique from their grandfather, the White family’s pride and joy would have been lost in this generation.
Caelan’s elder brother, Fraser, was the most famous geomancy master in White Orchid Village and the surrounding areas. Because of this, Fraser’s status in the village surpassed even that of the village chief, and even the clan leader often deferred to Fraser.
The reason why White Orchid Village was so wealthy was not only due to the antique business but also because Fraser had manipulated the geomancy to harm others and benefit themselves.
According to Leo’s speculation, the White family ancestral temple was a result of Fraser’s malicious use of geomancy. Although Leo hadn’t visited the ancestral temple yet, he was certain in his heart.
Seeing that so many people were unable to do anything to Leo, Caelan had other considerations in mind.
He estimated that Leo must know the complete Three Talents Body Technique. Although he didn’t know where Leo had learned it from, it was no longer important. What mattered was getting Leo to hand over the complete manual of the Three Talents Body Technique!
As long as he could learn the complete Three Talents Body Technique, it wouldn’t be impossible to surpass Fraser in the future. Thinking of this, Caelan became somewhat excited.
Just as Caelan was rolling up his sleeves, ready to join the crowd in capturing Leo, Leo suddenly appeared in front of Caelan.
“Caelan, the swarm tactic won’t work against me. Let’s settle this between the two of us. We can have a friendly match and discuss the matter of the White family ancestral temple afterward,” Leo addressed him by name.
Leo’s words struck a chord with Caelan. His eyes widened, and without further ado, he threw a punch towards Leo’s face.
Leo’s body quickly ducked, easily evading Caelan’s punch.
Caelan felt a momentary blur before Leo completely disappeared from his sight. Then, a sharp pain struck his back, causing Caelan to stumble forward.
The villagers who had been standing in front of him instinctively stepped back, resulting in Caelan falling to the ground, covered in dirt. This scene stunned the onlookers, and no one dared to go after Leo anymore.
While Caelan’s geomancy skills were undoubtedly inferior to Fraser’s, when it came to his martial arts prowess, he was renowned throughout the area. Many people even traveled from far away to seek apprenticeship under Caelan.
It was precisely because of this that the situation became so intimidating when Caelan was easily knocked down by a young man. If it hadn’t been witnessed firsthand, nobody would believe it.
With a gloomy expression, Caelan slowly got up from the ground, creating an eerie atmosphere.
On the side, Antonio discovered something. It seemed like Leo intentionally wanted to escalate the situation.
Caelan stared coldly at Leo, clenched his fists, and felt extreme anger. However, he knew deep down that he was no match for Leo. If they continued fighting, he would only lose face.
So Caelan contemplated whether he should call Fraser. Perhaps only Fraser could control the situation here.
“What’s the occasion today? Such a lively gathering?” a rough voice sounded, carrying a strong presence.
Everyone turned their heads towards the entrance of the courtyard, automatically creating a path.
The person who arrived was none other than Caelan’s brother, the illustrious Fraser.
Fraser had an average build, neither fat nor thin. His face was fair and clean-shaven, with his hair styled into a large pompadour. He didn’t resemble a geomancy master at all but rather a shrewd businessman.
Fraser’s gaze swept across the room before finally settling on Leo, standing in front of Caelan. He walked up to Leo and maintained a harmless smile on his face, saying, “I heard someone wants to demolish the White family ancestral temple?”
